ok we have all been trying to figure out the lineup but not alot of info has come out on headliners this year so go ahead and make your final top 3 predictions!

for me its hard this year but i narrowed it down to 10( its 6am here so i probably missed some but oh well;

here are the 3 i think will headline and im not going by preference.
COLDPLAY
REM
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

here are the 3 i want to see:
PRINCE
REM
RADIOHEAD

here are 3 that are possible also:

PEARL JAM
THE BEASTIE BOYS
OASIS

finally here are 4 that might be ready to graduate to become top tier headliners:
MUSE
THE KILLERS
THE WHITE STRIPES
KANYE WEST

pick whoever but try to stick to actual top tier headliners. i know some of u will say "i hate coldplay!" and i might be one of them, but they could very well headline so lets see! :) remember headliners only....... 100 days till coachella!!

i really dont think coachella will go for smashing pumpkins unless they dont have a choice.

Portishead needs one more stellar album before becoming a headliner IMO.

Re: its that time!! pick your 3 top tier headliners!

I love how ever since my thread about Pearl Jam, people are suddenly guessing they'll headline (whereas they were rarely mentioned before).

Goes to show how throwing a name out with a little research to back up your guess goes a long way on this board.

Anyway, here's my wish:
Pearl Jam
R.E.M.
Radiohead

But my prediction is:
R.E.M.
two others I won't really care about (perhaps No Doubt and somebody like Portishead?)

With Eddie Vedder doing a solo, non-headliner set. :)

Re: its that time!! pick your 3 top tier headliners!

Re: its that time!! pick your 3 top tier headliners!

Why do people keep talking about Kanye West? He fucking sucks. This thread begins and ends with MassiveChemicalPunk's post. Also Pearl Jam would be spectacular, anyone who says different should be beat in the head with a bag of rusty nails.

I was cruising through the grocery store the other night and a talking heads song came on...I haven't heard them in so long that I totally started getting my groove on in the cereal isle and thought they would be totally fun to see at coachella!!!

It has not dawn on my yet of what contribution Kanye has made to the alternative/inde genre...he's fucking lame as far as I'm concerned but I did have fun during his 06 performance.
